SVP's Herbert Dorfmann, outgoing MEP, was largely the most voted candidate in the region (86,879 preference votes) as well as in both provinces (16,588 in Trentino and 70,291 in South Tyrol). In the preferences' regional tally Dorfmann was followed by Alessandra Moretti (PD, 17,746) and Oktavia Brugger (Greens–The Other Europe, 17,270).[1] Dorfmann was the only candidate from the region to be elected (in his case, re-elected) to the European Parliament.
